Something else I just noticed (not sure if it's new or if I'm just unobservant): when you collect party hats in a friend's park, the dragons in the collected habitat all celebrate

I have some bad news... this is not a new feature...

Not really bad news .... At least we're not impaired, visually or otherwise ....

I got a (bronze?) reward chest from the wishing well: 1 gem

Me too, 1 gem.

Not sure where they're going with this, but I'm not going to look a gift gem in the... gem

Neat, it's a double day already. Looks like I was right to hold my gems.

72-hour timer in the market.

Hmm, my winnings from the wheel were not doubled, but my DC collections were...

Mr. Bones, what do you see that is double?

There's an announcement in the News tab, and the store has a "Deal" sticker. According to the announcement all tickets that you "find" or "purchase" are doubled, so that may explain why the wheel doesn't pay double (they're "won", not "found"). Doesn't really explain why "finding" the banner wizards doesn't pay double though!

Edit: So far I've noticed that DC, treats, party hats, and hatching dragons all pay double, but not the wheel or the banner wizards...

Give me a bottle of whiskey and ask me again in an hour.

Everything I've tried so far is doubled. DragonCash, quests, Name That Dragon, clearing obstacles, treats, party hats, ...

Just received doubles whilst hatching three eggs. 

So is the max 1000 Tickets today or will we just get to 500 Tickets in half the time?

Finding the event NPCs usually does double on double weekends.

Also, Name That Dragon doubles, so it seems silly that the Wheel of Chance doesn't... though I guess they might need new graphics for the wheel itself, since it lists the prize amounts...

Probably just an oversight.

It looks like 1000 tickets. I'm already past the 500 mark.

Hmm, Name That Dragon doubles? I double-checked on the wheel and banner wizards when my first try didn't produce doubles. I wonder what's going on?

1000

Already hit the max in less than 20 minutes.

The ability to overflow some stuff into the next day creates some interesting priority issues...

Did your NPCs double? I watched closely on my second one when I thought my first one didn't double, and indeed it did not. Localized rather than global glitches perhaps? That would suck!

I wonder if BFS "fixed" the tutorial portal glitch by eliminating it.
I had to reinstall DV twice on my granddaughter's Kindle; we'd had no luck opening it. Finally got into her park, played the Tutorial, and never got the option to get the fire theme. No 1000 tickets.

That happened to my husband last night too. He was finally able to get on about 11 and start everything. It didn't give him the 1000 tickets at all. He would have liked it though because he currently doesn't have the fire theme and he had a tough time getting enough gems to save up for buying themes.

So today saw a flag person yay! Maxed out with the double points, need to ask the Dawn dragon - if you haven't already got one can you get one via Co-Op breeding? Reading Macenstein's guide suggests possibly you can't?

No, I got the normal 25 too.

I was saying that typically during a double weekend, the event NPCs do double, so the fact they did not was likely an oversight.

Sorry, but what does NPC mean?

Literally an abbreviation for "non player character", it is often applied to any background characters in a game, such as the little wizards running around with flags...

It's an old term from pen and paper role playing games that is used heavily in the larger gaming community.

Yes you can get one via the Coop by breeding Dawn + another Epic dragon.

Not great odds, but possible.

Not sure what is going on. 50 tickets from finding the flag bearer, and 3 gems from the chest.
